Investigating
ITS Security is tracking high risk malicious activity from the following netblocks associated with a third party VPN service - ProtoVPN:
185.174.173.0/24
104.254.92.0/24
209.58.185.0/24
These networks have been temporarily border blocked to aid containment and response to these attacks. We understand there is likely some legitimate activity using this VPN service, and we apologize in advance for the inconvenience to those users. Users of the ProtoVPN service should connect directly to the campus network, and/or use the Campus VPN service. We will lift the block as soon as we have containment on this threat.
